Associated Spring Raymond 106-207 Die Spring Extra Heavy-duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-207 is an extra heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and tooling fixtures where consistent, high-load cycling performance is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a rated spring rate of 170.00 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 74.4 pounds at 0.44 inches of maximum deflection. The green color coding identifies it as an extra heavy-duty rating per industry standard die spring classification. Tool and die makers, press room technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers of this component.

This die spring is suited for high-cycle tooling applications in stamping, forming, and die-casting operations. The 0.5 inch hole diameter and 9/32 inch rod diameter allow it to seat over standard guide rods and into standard pocket bores used in progressive and compound die assemblies. Its 1.75 inch free length fits compact die sets where space between upper and lower die shoes is limited. The trapezoidal wire profile increases the active coil cross-section relative to round wire, improving load capacity and fatigue life under repeated compression cycles.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with green color coding for quick field identification
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity and extended fatigue life compared to round wire springs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for resistance to set and heat under high-cycle conditions
• 170.00 pounds per inch spring rate provides firm, predictable resistance throughout the stroke
• Maximum deflection load of 74.4 pounds at 0.44 inches maximum deflection
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as a standard die spring replacement for tooling applications requiring a 0.5 inch hole diameter, 9/32 inch rod diameter, and 1.75 inch free length in extra heavy-duty green classifications.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by tool and die makers or press room maintenance technicians during die builds or scheduled tooling maintenance. Always relieve all press tonnage and lock out the press ram before removing or replacing springs in a die set. Do not compress this spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.44 inches, as exceeding this value will accelerate fatigue failure and reduce service life. Inspect the guide rod diameter and pocket bore dimensions before installation to confirm proper fit and alignment.
